    @randolf Hey Randolf, I just wanted to thank you for saving me the trouble of positing this. That's exactly where that parameter lives, and how it should be modified. Happy flying!

    @mad_x This is one of the last effects I have not included in the aircraft, since it's harder to implement than the ITT change. Given that I haven't gotten any complaints about how my custom fuel controller code is performing in the wild, I think I can add this now. I'll see about it for the next update. Thank you! Nick C.

    Hi All, This is a bug in the Working Title autopilot implementation. I thought I let a note in the manual, but I guess I forgot. I have mentioned it to them tangentially during development, but I will bring it up in earnest next time I write to them. If you are using the default autopilot implementation with the TDS GTNxi, non-WT mod PMS50 GTN, or no GPS at all, then the bank should be properly limited. Thank you! Nick C.

    oh and another excerpt from an article I've previously posted about (https://www.flyingmag.com/pilot-reports-turboprops-tbm-850-even-faster/ ) This one discussed the qualities of the TBM airframe strength: Mach effects change with air density, becoming more critical as atmospheric density decreases with altitude. For that reason, nearly all turbprop airplanes adjust Vmo down as altitude increases, thus delivering a larger margin away from the detrimental effects of Mach as the airplane climbs. The creators of the TBM took a different tack and designed in enough airframe strength and flying qualities margin that the airplane exceeds all standards at 270 knots indicated airspeed at any altitude up to its 31,000-foot ceiling. The single red line Vmo of the TBM reflects both exceptional airframe strength, and very predictable and benign flying qualities at all altitudes. While some turboprops are limited by their Vmo at high altitude, the TBM never is. That is especially important on descent, where you can shove the nose over in the TBM on descent and gain back some of the time spent in climb by coming down at a very high true airspeed without a reduce red-line limitation.

    For anyone interested, with the last updated version of SPAD, B vars are no longer supported, so the previous code will not work. I have done the same solution as @jim33152 proposed, using vjoy in spad.next can move the switch ---> after installing vjoy, run it, launch MSFS and in options go to Controls, there you will find your VJoy, then assign the native binding for the Propeller Deice to a joystick button in Vjoy. Finally in Spad, click on Add Event/button pressed/Advanced/Virtual Joystick and choose your Vjoy (probably it would be vJoy #1), for action choose "Press/release a button" and in "target" choose the same virtual joystick button that you chose in the general control options in MSFS for the Prop Deice switch. That is my workaround to assign this switch to a hardware button. The switch now is moving and the green light is shown. Cheers.

    Is your cabin altitude over 10.000ft or you differentiate pressure of scale high? This can happen if you climb fast but climb the cabin to slow.

    @roadrunner I am suspecting that my realsimgear is at fault. I'm not prepared to mess around with that for one aircraft that is not working. The funny thing is that this is the only black square airplane I am having trouble with (I have 3 others). Oh well, back to flying something else. Thanks for the help

    Thanks for; The condition lever position can now be controlled via the L:Var L:BKSQ_ConditionLever from 0-2. This should not be necessary, since the condition lever is most easily controlled via the default mixture bindings; however, it was added for convenience.

    @mobbe123 I think I got it to work. Some file in the community folder was making trouble.

    @randolf Yep It was the fan that was my problem. I didn't use as I thought it was something to do with AC only. Works pretty good now. Thanks!

    @patchadams502003 Hello, I've got the same problem but not with no Honeycomb. I've got Logitech Switch Panel and I use spad.next. The problem also turn off GTN750 but not others GPS. Well... I don't know what to do...
